Re: The "Nothing to see here"Transfer thread
Being honest I think we currently have a solid squad, who should finish in the top half of the table, maybe even challenge for the last play off spot depending on how tight the table is this year. With a couple of quality additions we could be challenging for top six, realistically I think given the...

Re: The "Nothing to see here"Transfer thread
I think it unlikely we will do any more business before the last week of August, unless we are already at an advanced stage of negotiation. We strengthened the squad quite early and given our first four fixtures against Burnley, QPR Reading and Forest. Dougie will have a better indication of were w...

Re: Dougie
A manager who constantly picks the obvious probably means they don't have much imagination. So when Ron Saunders won the league in 1981 and used 14 players during the course of a 42 game season, he should have chopped and changed more :conf: Just to state the obvious we are not in 1981 anymore and ...

Re: The "Nothing to see here"Transfer thread
Would Carlton Cole be worth a punt? Free transfer. Unsure what his wages would be like though. Maybe worth a 1 year deal? Are you on drugs? :wink: Anyone who has played at that level and is on a free is worth looking at. Being on drugs is not really relevent and I am unsure whether that would make ...

Re: Dougie
I think I'd wait to see what sort of team he assembles for next season before judging his transfer ability. And crucially how much he spends in doing so. Bringing in cheap punts is one thing - showing faith in them at the business end of the season, quite another. I'm hopeful for Dougie, and relati...

Re: The "Nothing to see here"Transfer thread
Given Alonso moving on to Italy he is better than anything we have, a solid if unspectacular addition will take that as a step forward.jaffka wrote:will do a job, thats it

Re: The "Nothing to see here"Transfer thread
is he any good? Think he will be an old fashioned left back who sees defense as his prime function , he has never been a regular scorer at any level. Originally from Bury will should have no problems settling in, I would say a good solid signing and to get him on a free a definate bonus. Helps solv...

Re: Dougie
Next manager betting markets, are not huge for bookmakers and relatively small amounts of money ( A couple of hundred pounds will dramatically alter odds ). Given events of past 24 hours Gus Poyet has shortened massively today, suspect no announcement will be made at Everton till early June.

Re: End Of Season Squad
This transfer window will be interesting for many clubs, given Watfords abuse of the loan system this year I can not imagine that no changes will be made to prevent that happening again. For their sakes I hope they don't get promoted as they have a transfer ban in place until the end of August which...

Re: The Championship 2013/14
I take your point about starting a discussion, but your solution to our problem is to create an even bigger one, with Bramble? Sorry. He's not for me. How the guy keeps getting PL contracts i'll never know. He obviously has something that managers and coaches see, and we are not talking premiership...

Re: Dougie
Time to introduce a bit of perspective into the Dougie love-in. I've read that he 'took us from nowhere to 6th'. He actually spent three months taking us from 17th to 20th, via several weeks when we were becalmed in 16th spot. He then took us back up to a final position of 7th, which is effectively...

Re: The Championship 2013/14
Next season will be no cake-walk. As much as I think we need to rebuild somewhat and as much as I think Dougie is ace, I'm worried that we still have quite a lot to do, to be really competitive. Two full backs, a centre half or two, a wide player or two, someone who can create in midfield, a strike...

Re: The Championship 2013/14
Personally I am not to disappointed to be not to be in the play offs, I don't think our current squad has enough quality to step up to the premiership next year without massive investment. That said this year the Championship has been probably one of the most competitive leagues in Europe with only ...
